Quick Start

To authenticate, you’ll need a Tako API key. It’s best practice to store it as an environment variable to avoid hardcoding sensitive credentials in your code.

​
1. Set your API key as an environment variable

On macOS/Linux, add this line to your ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or equivalent shell config: 
export TAKO_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
On Windows (Command Prompt): 
setx TAKO_API_KEY "your-api-key-here"
Restart your terminal or IDE after setting the environment variable.

​
2. Initialize the client and fetch Tako cards

import { createTakoClient } from 'tako-sdk';

// Initialize the client
const tako = createTakoClient(process.env.TAKO_API_KEY!);

// Search Tako Knowledge
const results = await tako.knowledgeSearch('AMD vs. Nvidia headcount since 2015');
console.log(results.outputs.knowledge_cards);

​
Usage Example: Next.js API Route

// app/api/tako-search/route.ts
import { createTakoClient } from 'tako-sdk';
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const { query, sourceIndexes } = await request.json();
  const tako = createTakoClient(process.env.TAKO_API_KEY!);

  try {
    const results = await tako.knowledgeSearch(query, sourceIndexes);
    return NextResponse.json(results);
  } catch (error: any) {
    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: error.message || 'An error occurred' },
      { status: error.status || 500 }
    );
  }
}
